a licensed trapper in CA is allowed the use of a body gripping trap(conibear) if the target animal is damaging property with written consent of said property owner.
the use of leg hold traps is allowed if the target animal is a threat to human safety.
live cage/box traps are the only legal trap for recreational fur trapping.
however, any animals caught under the perameters which authorize the use of leg hold or body gripping traps may not be sold or bartered.
the skunks and opposums i trap with body gripping traps root through my mothers garden. on several occasions there have been sightings of opposums that appear to be infected with rabies judging by their behavior.
i'd say that authorizes the use of that #110, wouldn't you?
